This correspondence points out a need for clarification concerning the methodology utilized in the study “Eye tracking detects disconjugate eye movements associated with structural traumatic brain injury and concussion”, recently published in The authors of the paper state Journal of Neurotrauma. that binocular eye movements were recorded using a single-camera video-oculography technique and th...

Attentional biases to painful stimuli are evident in individuals with chronic pain, although the directional tendency of these biases (ie, toward or away from threat-related stimuli) remains unclear. This study used eye-tracking technology, a measure of visual attention, to evaluate the attentional patterns of individuals with and without chronic pain during exposure to injury-related and neutr...

Eye injuries occur without any warning. One moment a person can have perfectly normal eyes, and the next moment he or she may be blind or at least in severe pain. Therefore we should be eternally vigilant and aware of situations that could lead to injury. Eye injuries may be trivial or serious. All precautions should be taken to avoid injury. Repair of a grave injury is almost impossible, and p...

PURPOSE To analyze the anatomic and functional consequences of wine-cork injury to the eye in relation to the patient's age and the type of cork and wine. METHODS We retrospectively studied 13 patients, six women and seven men, presenting to our department with bottle-cork injury to the eye between January 1999 and June 2001. RESULTS All patients presented with closed-globe injury according...

Objectives.To investigate the characteristics of occupational chemical eye injuries. Methods.Medical records of patients, who were registered to hospital officially as occupational chemical eye injuries between January 2010 and December 2013, were reviewed. The age, gender, injured eye, chemical agent, nature of the chemical, ocular findings, emerging complications and the information whether t...

This study aims to explore the psychosocial factors and challenges affecting lives of those who wear an ocular prosthesis following a traumatic eye injury. Thematic analysis semi-structured interviews with eight individuals resulted in five themes: emotional devastation aftermath; moving forward; fear negative social evaluation; keeping it normal - protecting self close others; threat injury & ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Concern for block-related injury and liability has dissuaded many anesthesiologists from using regional anesthesia for eye and extremity surgery, despite many studies demonstrating the benefits of regional over general anesthesia. To determine injury patterns and liability associated with eye and peripheral nerve blocks, we re-examined the American Society of Anesthesi...

The ocular pathology of sympathetic ophthalmia is demonstrated in a 10 year-old boy who sustained a penetrating left globe injury and subsequently developed sympathetic ophthalmia in the right eye two months later. Two and a half weeks following extensive surgical repair of the left ruptured globe, he developed endophthalmitis and was treated with oral and topical fortified antibiotics. One mon...

Eye trauma results in 30,000 cases of blindness each year in the United States and is the second leading cause of monocular visual impairment. Eye injury is caused by a wide variety of projectile impacts and loading scenarios with common sources of trauma being motor vehicle crashes, military operations, and sporting impacts. For the current study, 79 experimental eye impact tests in literature...
